| Abstract: | A study of the apprenticeship system in the wayside workshops (small craft enterprises depending chiefly on passing traffic for customers) of Adabraka, Accra, was carried out between July 1971 and June 1973. In the course of the study several 'freeing' cermonies, the celebrations which terminate apprenticeships, were observed. One of the most interesting was the freeing of Yaw Asare, a fitting apprentice at T-K Motors. The events during the cermony reinforce actual experience in the workshop and suggest both the socialisation and vocational training aspects of apprenticeship in Accra. |
